CALENDAR   AND  TIDE  TABLES.  1 

CALENDAR  AND  TIDE  TABLES. 

By  Thomas  Tbnnbht. 

yhe  calculations  are  made  for  apparent  time.  The  Tide  Tables 
are  computed  from  the  Tables  of  tlie  United  States  Coast  Survey. 
We  append  the  following  observations  in  regard  to  the 


TIDBS  OF  THB  PACIFIC   COAST. 

On  the  Pacific  coast  there  is,  as  a  general  rule,  one  large  and 
one  small  tide  during  each  day ;  the  height  of  two  successive 
high-waters  occurring  one  A.  m.,  the  other  p.  m.  of  the  same 
twenty-four  hours,  and  the  intervals  from  the  next  preceding 
transit  of  the  moon  are  very  different.  The  inequalities  depend 
upon  the  moon's  declination ;  they  disappear  near  the  time  of  the 
moon's  declination,  beine^  nothing,  and  are  greatest  about  the 
time  of  its  being  greatest.  The  inequalities  for  low  water  are 
not  the  same  as  for  hi  j^h,  though  they  disappear  and  have  the 
greatest  value  at  nearly  tne  ttame  times. 

In  Puget  Sound  the  inequalities  for  the  interval  of  high  water 
and  for  the  height  of  low  water  follow  this  rule,  but  those  for  the 
interval  of  low  water  and  height  of  high  water  disappear  about 
one  day  before  the  moon's  declination  is  greatest,  and  are  greatest 
about  four  or  five  days  before  the  greatest  declination. 

When  the  moon's  declination  is  north,  the  highest  of  the  two 
tides  of  the  twenty-four  hours  occurs  at  San  Francisco  about 
eleven  and  one-half  hours  after  the  moon's  southing,  (transit) 
and  when  the  declination  is  south,  the  lowest  of  the  two  high 
tides  occurs  about  that  interval.  The  lowest  of  the  two  low 
waters  of  the  day  is  the  one  which  follows  next  the  highest  high 
water. 

To  obtain  the  times  of  high  or  low  water  Jbr  Monterey,  South 
Farallon,  Mare  Island,  Benicia,  Ravenswood  and  Bodega,  find  the 
time  for  San  Francisco,  then  subtract  1  h.  44  m.  for  Monterey, 
1  h.  29  m.  for  the  South  Farallon,  and  49  m.  for  Bodega ;  and  add 
34  m.  for  Mare  Island,  1  h.  4  m.  for  Benicia,  and  30  m.  for 
Ravenswood. 

For  Humboldt  Bay,  Port  Orford,  and  Neeah  Bay,  find  the  time 
for  Astoria,  then  subtract  40  m.  for  Humboldt  Bay,  I  h.  18  m. 
for  Port  Orford,  and  9  m.  for  Neeah  Bay. 

For  Steilacoom  and  Semiahmoo  Bay,  find  the  time  for  Port 
Townsend,  and  add  to  it  57  m.  for  Steilacoom,  and  1  hour  for 
Semiahmoo.  The  approximation  will  only  be  a  rough  one  for 
Steilacoom.

ON    THE    ART    OF   WAR. 

Br  H.  W.  Hxr.LECK. 

AUTIIOB  OF  "ELEMRNTN  OV  MIMTART  AltT  AND  ACIKNCR,"  "  INTXBMATIOirAL 
LAW  AMU  TUB  I.AW8  OF  WAU,"  XTO. 


1    M   I 


FoREiQKERS  liavc  oftcn  asserted  that,  as  a  military  power,  tht 
Government  of  the  United  States  is  exceedingly  weak ;  and  that 
the  first  groat  war  in  which  we  engaged  would  demonstrate  this 
weakness.  Our  people  have  resented  these  assertions  with  con- 
siderable warmth ;  and  to  prove  their  want  of  foundation,  they 
have  referred  to  our  little  army  of  twelve  or  fifteen  thousand 
picn,  to  our  military  academy  at  West  Point,  and  to  the  military 
spirit  displayed  by  our  militia ;  and,  as  evidence  of  our  capacity 
to  organize  an  efficient  army  in  case  of  necessity,  to  the  rcsulta 
of  the  War  of  1812,  and  the  Mexican  War  of  1846. 

In  reply  to  all  this,  European  cavillers  say  they  admit  that  our 
regular  army  is  well  instructed  and  well  disciplined,  but  that  it  is 
too  small  to  be  of  much  avail  in  pi  /  great  war;  and  they  also 
point  to  the  fact  that  the  privates  are  mostly  of  foreign  birth, 
which,  they  say,  is  good  proof  that  the  mass  of  our  native  popu- 
lation is  wanting  in  military  spirit.  They  admit  that  the  West 
Point  Academy  is  equal  to  the  best  military  schools  of  Eurojje, 
and  that  it  annually  furnishes  a  small  body  of  well  trained  and 
well  educated  officers ;  but  they  contend  that  the  usefulness  of 
this  school  is  almost  entirely  destroyed  by  the  system  of  appoint- 
ment to,  and  promotion  in,  our  army — such  appointments  and 
promotions  being  made  almost  exclusively  from  political  consid- 
erations, and  without  regard  to  military  qualifications.  In  proof 
of  this,  they  refer  to  our  army  lists,  and  show  that  graduates  of 
West  Point  have  much  less  chance  of  preferment  than  noisy, 
pot-house  politicians,  who  are  ignorant  of  the  first  elements  of 
military  science.  With  regard  to  our  militia,  they  say  that, 
although  good  and  brave  men,  they  are  without  military  experi- 
ence or  discipline,  and,  although  valuable  as  an  auxiliary  force 
to  man  our  fortifications  and  to  repel  an  invasion,  they  would  be

of  very  little  use  in  the  open  field  and  in  the  face  of  veteran 
troops.  With  regard  to  the  "War  of  1812  with  England,  they 
say  that  the  first  campaigns  proved  beyond  dispute  our  want  of 
military  eflSciency,  and  that  it  was  only  in  the  last  year  of  the 
war,  and  after  a  dearly  bought  experience  of  our  faulty  military 
organization,  that  we  were  able  to  cope  with  the  small  force  which 
Grcau  Britain,  engaged  in  her  mighty  European  contests  with 
Napoleon,  was  able  to  send  against  us ;  for  the  Mexican  "War, 
they  say  we  contended  with  troops  still  less  instructed  and  dis- 
ciplined than  our  own.  v 

"Whatever  we  may  think  of  the  justness  of  these  foreign  criti 
cisms,  we  must  admit  that  we  are  not,  in  the  strict  sense  of  that 
word,  a  military  people ;  and  that  the  military  art  has  received 
very  little  attention  in  this  country,  as  compared  with  the  nations 
of  Europe.  And  this  is  by  no  means  strange.  More  than  three 
quarters  of  a  century  have  elapsed  since  the  acknowledgment  of 
our  nationul  independence,  and  during  all  that  time,  except  the 
"War  of  1812  with  England,  we  have  enjoyed  an  almost  uninter- 
rupted peace — for  our  Indian  border  wars  and  our  short  conflict 
with  the  weak  and  demoralized  Republic  of  Mexico  were  too 
limited  and  local  to  p'"jduce  m'loli  ettect  upoii  the  country  gen- 
erally— consequently,  the  attention  of  our  people,  for  nearly  a 
century,  has  been  directed  almost  exclusively  to  other  pursuits 
than  that  of  arms ;  and  they  are  better  acquainted  with  any  other 
science  than  that  of  war.  Indeed,  politicians  have  generally 
assui-ed  us  that  we  need  no  anny ;  and  that  our  brave  but  unin- 
structed  militia  is  suificient  for  all  purposes  for  v^hich  a  military 
force  will  ever  be  required  by  our  Government.  The  present 
war  is  opening  our  eyes  to  this  error,  and  the  disaster  of  B  ill 
Run  has  taught  us  that  mere  courage  and  numbers,  without  in- 
struction or  discipline,  or  competent  ofticers  to  command,  are  not 
likely  very  soon  to  restore  the  authority  of  the  Government,  and 
the  peace  of  the  country. 

"War  is  the  most  comprehensive  and  difficult  to  be  undersiood 
of  all  the  sciences,  for  it  embraces  nearly  every  branch  of  human 
learning.    Hence  it  is,  that  while  nearly  every  cou    jy  furnishes

good  chemists,  botanists,  geologists,  theologians,  jurists  and 
statesmen,  but  very  few  I'killful  generals  have  been  found  in  any 
age.  And  yet  in  our  country  it  seems  to  be  thought  that  anybody 
will  do  for  a  general ;  and  a  politician  or  pettifogger  has  only  to 
put  on  epaulettes,  and  exchange  his  stump  speeches  or  briefs  for 
a  sword,  in  order  to  qualify  him  to  lead  armies  into  the  field  and 
to  direct  the  difficult  and  complicated  operations  or  a  campaign, 
seige  or  battle  !  While  we  must  admire  the  brazen  impudence 
of  the  individuals  who  make  these  sudden  and  wonderful  trans- 
formations, it  is  difficult  to  understand  why  the  Government, 
which  is  supposed  to  seek  victories  rather  than  defeats,  should 
appoint  such  men  to  command  our  armies,  and  why  a  people, 
who  are  supposed  to  value  their  lives  and  reputation,  should 
tolerate  them !  If  mere  politicians,  who  never  drilled  a  company 
or  read  a  military  book,  are  to  command  our  armies,  why  not 
make  judges  and  district  attorneys  of  masons  and  carpenters 
who  never  read  a  law  book  or  wrote  a  brief?  If  it  only  requires 
a  piece  of  parchment  to  convert  a  politician  into  a  general,  cer- 
tainly the  same  magic  process  will  transform  a  blacksmith  into 
a  judge,  or  a  butcher  into  a  swrgeou ! 

Washington,  in  his  last  Annual  Message,  Dec.  7);h,  1796,  in 
urging  upon  Congress  the  importance  of  military  instruction, 
used  the  following  words :  "  Whatever  argument  may  be  drawn 
from,  particular  examples  superficially  viewed,  a  thorough  exam- 
ination of  the  subject  will  evince  that  the  art  of  war  is  both  coui- 
prehensive  and  complicated;  that  it  demands  much  previous 
study ;  and  that  the  possession  of  it,  in  its  mo'  t  improved  and 
perlect  state,  is  always  of  great  moment  to  the  security  of  a 
nation."  Had  we  given  heed  to  Washington's  Farewell  Address, 
the  present  rebellion  would  never  have  occurred ;  and  had  the 
Federal  Government  listened  to  the  advice  contained  in  the  fore- 
going extract  from  his  last  Annual  Message,  it  would  not  now 
be  lamenting  the  disasters  of  Great  Bethel  and  Bull  Run, 

The  people  are  beginning  to  awaken  to  the  importance  of  mil- 
itary instruction ;  and  they  ask  of  the  Government  that  it  cease 
appointing  politicians,  ignorant  of  militxry  science,  to  lead  our

armies.  Men  who  pay  their  money  and  peril  their  lives  in  sup- 
port of  the  war  for  the  Union,  have  had  enough  of  "  mustang  " 
generals ;  they  now  demand  that  these  be  replaced  by  men  of 
military  education  and  experience.  Moreover,  the  people  them- 
selves are  beginning  to  learn  something  of  war,  or  at  least,  to 
desire  to  learn,  for  there  is  just  now  an  unprecedented  demand 
for  military  books.  In  order  to  assist  the  popular  understanding 
of  this  subject,  we  propose  to  give  a  brief 


SYNOPSIS   or   THE   MILITARY  ART. 


aes 


War  has  been  defined,  the  art  of  organizing  and  moviw  ir>,i 
tary  forces,  and  ip  usually  divided  into  four  distinct  brant, 
Strategy,  Engineering,  Logistics  and  Tactics. 

Strategy  is  the  art  of  directing  masses  upon  decisive  point? ; 
or,  in  the  words  of  Bulow,  it  embraces  "  the  hostile  movements 
of  two  armies,  made  beyond  the  view  of  each  other,  or — ^if  it  be 
preferred — ^beyond  the  effect  of  cannon." 

Engineering  embraces  the  disposition  of  material  obstacles  to 
resist  an  attack,  and  the  means  to  be  used  to  overcome  these 
obstacles  in  making  an  attack. 

Logistics  embraces  the  means  of  transportation  and  supply.     "3 

Tactics  is  the  art  of  bringing  troops  into  action,  or  of  moving 
them  in  the  presence  of  an  enemy — that  is,  within  his  view,  and 
within  reach  of  his  artillery. 

We  will  illustrate  these  definitions  by  reference  to  the  present 
war.  To  determine  the  general  plan  of  campaign — that  is,  the 
points  at  yhich  troops  are  to  be  assembled,  as  at  Fortress 
Monroe,  Arlington,  the  Ohio  River,  Cairo,  St.  Louis,  &c.,  and 
the  lines  upon  which  they  are  to  move  against  the  enemy — be- 
longs to  strategy.  The  location  and  construction  of  fortifica- 
tions, batteries,  military  bridges,  the  reconnaissance  of  the 
enemy's  works,  position  and  numbers,  and  his  lines  of  com- 
munication, belong  to  engineering.  The  providing  of  means 
for  supplying  and  moving  the  troops  so  collected,  belongs  to 
logistics.    And  the  manner  of  bringing  them  into  action,  or  of 


1

81 


maneuvering  them  on  the  field  of  battle,  belongs  to  tactics. 
ThuSj^e  sending  of  Patterson's  column  against  Martinsburg 
and  Winchester,  while  McDowell  moved  on  Manassas  Junction, 
was  a  matter  of  strategy.  So  also  the  concentration  of  the 
forces  of  Johnson  and  Beauregard  at  Bull  Run  was  a  strategic 
movement.  But  the  dispositions  made  of  the  troops  on  both 
sides  for  this  battle,  and  the  maneuvers  made  during  this  engage- 
ment, were  all  matters  belonging  to  tactics.  The  establishment 
of  batteries,  and  other  means  to  strengthen  his  position,  devised 
by  Beauregard,  and  the  examination  of  these  defenses,  and  the 
adoption  of  means  for  overcoming  these  obstacles  by  McDowell, 
were  matters  belonging  to  enginjeering.  And  the  means  of  sup- 
plying these  armies,  and  of  transporting  these  supplies,  belonged 
to  logistics.  ' 

Having  pointed  out  what  is  understood  by  strategy,  we  will 
add  a  few  of  the  general  rules  which  belong  to  that  branch  of 
military  art.  In  selecting  a  base  of  operations,  it  is  stated  by  the 
best  authorities,  that  troops  should  never  be  placed  upon  the  cir- 
cumference of  a  circle  the  center  of  which  is  occupied  by  an 
enemy ;  for  in  that  case  the  enemy  can  select  his  point  of  attack 
or  defense,  and,  by  concentrating  his  forces  on  that  point,  can 
successfully  resist  or  attack  the  forces  brought  against  him. 
Thus  in  the  present  campaign,  the  Federal  troops  were  assembled 
at  Fortress  Monroe,  Arlington,  Martinsburg,  Grafton,  Parkers- 
burg,  Cincinnati  and  Cairo,  while  the  confederate  forces  were 
concentrated  on  Lynchburg,  Richmond  and  Manassas  Junction — 
one  party  on  the  circumference,  and  the  other  concentrated  near 
the  center. 

Again,  in  selecting  lines  of  operation,  it  is  said  that  troops 
should  never  be  moved  on  exterior  lines,  unless  the  forces  on  each 
line  are  superior  to  the  combined  forces  of  the  enemy.  The  reason 
of  this  rule  is  obvious :  by  moving  on  exterior  lines,  we  permit 
the  enemy  to  attack  either  of  our  lines  with  his  combined  forces, 
the  other  being  outside,  and  too  distant  to  render  any  assistance 
to  the  line  attacked.  On  the  contrary,  by  moving  on  interior 
lines,  our  forces,  being  nearer  together  than  those  of  the  enemy,

may  be  readily  concentrated  on  any  weak  point  wliich  may  be  pre- 
sented. It  matters  little  whether  our  lines  be  single  or  double, 
provided  we  can  unite  our  forces  sooner  than  the  enemy  can 
unite  his  ;  the  great  object  being  to  concentrate  upon  the  decisive 
point  a  larger  force  than  the  enemy  can  bring  to  resist  our  attack. 
This  is  the  great  secret,  if  secret  it  can  be  called,  .of  all  strategic 
maneuvers. 

History  furnishes  us  with  numerous  examples  of  both  interior 
and  ex.  >'  Vies  of  operation.  In  1777,  Burgoyne  moved  on 
exterior  in  gainst  the  army  of  Gates.  In  1814,  the  army  of 
Silesia  and  ine  grand  Austro-Russian  army  pursued  exterior 
lines,  leaving  Napoleon  to  operate  with  his  whole  force  upon 
either  one  or  the  other,  as  circumstances  might  require.  In  the 
Italian  campaigns  of  1796  and  1797,  nearly  all  of  Napoleon's 
movements  were  interior  and  central ;  and  he  was  thus  enabled, 
with  a  small  force,  to  pierce  and  destroy  the  large  armies  which 
Austria  sent  against  him.  The  same  may  be  said  of  his  cam- 
paigns of  1805  and  1809,  against  Austria;  of  1806  and  1807, 
against  Russia ;  and  of  1808,  against  Spain.  In  1815,  with  an 
army  of  only  120,000  men,  against  an  allied  force  of  200,000, 
by  his  central  advance  on  Charleroi  and  Ligny,  he  gained  a 
most  decisive  advantage  over  the  enemy — an  advantage  lost  by 
the  ecccMtric  movement  of  Grouchy,  which  left  Wellington  and 
Blucher  on  interior  lines,  and  enabled  them  to  concentrate  their 
combined  forces  on  the  field  of  Waterloo  and  overthrow  the  army 
of  Napoleon.  The  maneuvers  of  the  Archduke  Charles  between 
the  armies  of  Moreau  and  Jourdon,  in  1796,  furnish  a  fine  ex- 
ample of  interior  and  central  operations.  To  apply  this  maxim 
of  strategy  to  the  present  campaign — Patterson's  and  McDowell's 
columns  moved  on  exterior  lines,  leaving  the  armies  of  Johnson 
and  Beauregard  between  them ;  they  concentrated  their  forces  at 
Bi^l  Run  and  defeated  McDowell's  army,  and  might  have  done 
the  same  thing  to  the  army  of  Patterson.  Had  the  latter  crossed 
the  Potomac  at  Leesburg,  he  would  have  threatened  Johnson's 
communications  much  more  effectually  than  at  Martinsburg; 
and  at  the  same  time  would  have  been  near  enough  to  McDowell

to  assist  him  or  to  receive  assistance  from  him,  as  circumstances 
might  have  required.  Johnson  must  then  have  abandoned 
Harper's  Ferry  and  Winchester  and  united  with  Beauregard,  or 
the  latter  must  have  moved  to  the  assistance  of  the  former ;  for 
had  they  remained  separate,  both  Patterson  and  McDowell  could 
have  moved  betwgen  them.  In  that  case,  Beauregard  must  have 
fallen  back  towards  Richmond,  and  Johnson  must  have  been 
isolated.  K  Johnson  had  fallen  back  upon  Manassas  Junction, 
(as  in  fact  he  did  on  the  twenty-first  of  July)  Patterson  would 
have  been  able  to  assist  McDowell  at  the  battle  of  Bull  Run  ; 
whereas,  by  his  exterior  line  of  operations  he  actually  gained 
nothing.  Newspaper  critics  have  attempted  to  throw  all  the 
blame  of  this  defeat  upon  Patterson,  and  have  compared  him  to 
Grouchy  at  Waterloo.  From  all  the  information  we  can  obtain 
on  this  subject  we  can  see  no  parallel  in  the  two  cases.  Grouchy 
made  an  eccentric  movement  from  interior  lines,  thus  changing- 
his  interior  to  an  exterior  position,  leaving  the  great  body  of 
Blucher's  army  nearer  to  that  of  Wellington  than  he  was  to 
Napoleon.  Nevertheless,  he  was  near  enough  to  hear  the  can- 
nonading of  Waterloo,  and  might  have  reached  the  field  of  battle 
in  time  to  prevent  the  disastrous  retreat,  if  not  to  save  the  defeat. 
The  country  was  an  open  one,  and  his  army  could  have  moved 
as  rapidly  as  that  of  the  enemy.  On  the  contrary,  Patterson's 
position  was,  from  the  beginning,  an  exterior  one ;  he  was  some 
sixty  miles  from  the  battle  field,  with  a  strong  force  between  him 
and  McDowell.  Moreover,  Johnson  had  a  railroad  at  his  com- 
mand, and  could  reach  Manassas  Junction  in  a  few  hours ; 
whereas,  Patterson,  without  cars,  (the  railroad  being  obstructed 
and  the  bridges  destroyed)  could  not  have  reached  Bull  Run  in 
less  than  two  days,  to  say  nothing  of  the  opposition  which  he 
would  have  encountered  from  the  army  of  Johnson.  We  know 
nothing  of  the  reasons  why  Patterson's  army  was  at  Martinsburg 
and  Harper's  Ferry — ^>vhether  his  line  of  operations  and  his  posi- 
tions were  of  his  own  selection,  or  were  the  result  of  superior 
orders ;  our  criticism  is  based  solely  upon  the  movements  as  tliey

Again,  long  or  deep  lines  of  operation — that  is,  where  the 
object  to  be  reached  is  very  distant  from  the  base  or  point  of 
departure — are  condemned  by  the  best  authorities;  for  the 
reason  that  they  afford  the  enemy  an  opportunity  to  operate  on 
the  flank  and  cut  off  the  moving  column  from  its  source  of  supply. 
Moreover,  when  far  advanced  upon  its  march,  i^  would  be  very 
difficult  to  reinforce  a  column  moving  on  such  a  line.  If  the 
circumstances  of  the  war  require  the  adoption  of  a  deep  line  of 
operation  in  a  particular  case,  it  is  a  maxim  of  war  that  it  be  so 
directed  as  not  to  be  cut  by  a  flank  movement  of  the  enemy. 
Moreover,  in  order  to  avoid  this  danger,  the  line  selected  should 
be  one  upon  which  the  troops  can  move  with  great  rapidity,  and 
be  through  a  country  where  abundant  supplies  can  be  obtained ; 
for  to  carry  them  with  the  army  would  greatly  retard  its  move- 
ments. To  illustrate  what  is  understood  by  a 'faulty  deep  line  of 
operations,  we  will  suppose  that  an  army  of  five  or  ten  thousand 
men  was  to  be  sent  from  California  to  attack  the  Confederate 
forces  in  Texas  and  Arkansas ;  and  that  the  line  of  operations 
chosen  should  be  by  Mazatlan  or  Guaymas  through  Chihuahua, 
Monclova  or  Monterey,  the  enemy  being,  in  possession  of  Messilla 
and  the  eastern  portion  of  Arizona !     a  ,.i)

Tactics  may  be  divided  into  two  distinct  parts :  grand  tactics, 
or  tactics  of  battle ;  and  elementary  tactics,  or  tactics  of  instruction 
and  maneuver.  The  first  relates  to  the  formation  of  troops  upon 
the  battle  field — that  is,  whether  they  are  to  be  drawn  up  in  one 
or  two  lines,  in  columns,  in  squares,  or  in  echelon,  and  how  each 
arm  is  to  be  placed  with  regard  to  the  other;  whether  the  cavalry 
and  artillery  are  to  be  placed  in  the  center,  on  the  flanks,  or  dis- 
tributed throughout  the  line,  and  whether  they  are  to  act  separ- 
ately, or  in  conjunction  with  each  other,  or  with  the  infantry. 
The  second  relates  to  the  manner  of  forming  lines,  columns, 
squares,  etc.,  of  deploying  as  skirmishers,  and  of  passing  from 
one  formation  to  another.  The  latter  is  the  alphabet  of  the  mil- 
itary art ;  while  the  former  combines  the  letters  of  this  alphabet 
into  words  and  sentences.  To  illustrate  this  distinction,  we  will 
refer  to  the  battle  of  Bull  Bun.    The  general  dispositions  of  the

troops  on  both  sides — that  is,  the  combinations  and  arrangements 
of  the  opposing  forces  made  by  the  commanding  generals — ^were 
matters  which  pertained  to  grand  tactics;  but  the  orders  of 
march,  of  fire,  of  deploy,  etc.,  made  by  the  commanders  of 
brigades,  regiments,  battalions  and  companies,  pertained  to  what 
is  called  e/cwentory  tactics.      '■''  •'''.■.■;;    irrT-^    ••  ••        .    '•  . 

The  formation  or  order  of  battle  must  always  depend  in  a 
great  measure  upon  the  nature  of  the  ground,  the  position  of  the 
enemy,  and  the  character  of  the  troops ;  it  is  therefore  impossible 
to  lay  down  any  geneial  rule  which  would  be  applicable  to  all 
cases.  Military  writers  describe  twelve  different  orders  of  battle : 
the  parallel,  the  oblique,  the  perpendicular,  the  concave,  the  con- 
vex, the  echelon,  etc.,  etc.,  with  their  various  modifications  and 
combinations  to  suit  the  circumstances  of  each  particular  case. 
Our  limits  will  not  permit  us  to  enter  into  any  discussion  of 
these  different  formations,  and  we  must  refer  our  readers  to  pro- 
fessional treatises  on  this  subject.  We  will  remark,  however, 
that  thin  lines,  whether  parallel,  oblique  or  perpendicular, 
whether  straight,  convex  or  concave,  are  deemed  objectionable, 
for  the  reason  that  they  are  easily  penetrated.  Columns  at  a 
distance  are  also  objectionable,  because  the  enemy  may  move 
between  and  attack  them  in  flank.  Again,  heavy  columns  of 
infantry  by  grand  divisions  furnish  an  excellent  mark  for  the 
enemy's  artillery.  A  reserve  is  always  of  great  importance  in 
a  battle ;  but  it  should  never  be  so  large  as  to  weaken  the  line. 
A  general  in  command  of  an  army  of  50,000  men  who  should 
engage  only  25,000,  keeping  the  other  25,000  in  reserve  or  in 
observation,  would,  by  such  a  disposition,  paralyze  and  render 
useless  one-half  of  his  own  force  I 

Logistics,  or  the  art  of  subsisting  and  moving  armies,  is  one  of 
the  most  difficult  subjects  connected  with  the  military  art.  In 
most  countries  of  Continental  Europe  these  matters  are  managed, 
under  the  direction  of  the  commanding  general,  by  a  corps  of 
officers  specially  appointed  and  organized  for  that  purpose.  In 
the  English  service  they  are  managed  by  civilians,  under  what 
is  called  the  "contract  system."    The  Crimean  War  demon-

strated  the  vast  inferiority  of  the  former  over  the  latter.  The 
English  soldiers  were  left  half  starved  and  half  naked ;  while  the 
French  were  abundantly  provided  for,  and  at  much  less  expense 
In  time  of  peace,  and  during  the  Mexican  War,  our  army  has 
usually  been  well  supplied  by  means  of  the  officers  of  the 
quartermaster,  commissary  and  medical  departments.  But  in 
the  Utah  expedition  Mr.  Secretary  Floyd  introduced  the  English 
system,  of  contracts  made  at  the  War  Office  through  his  politi- 
cal hirelings  and  hangers-on.  The  result  was  an  entire  waste  of 
the  public  money,  deficiency  in  the  quantity  and  quality  of  the 
supplies,  and  the  introduction  of  political  corruption  into  a 
branch  of  service  which  had  hitherto  been  above  suspicion.  If 
such  a  system  should  be  adopted  and  continued  in  the  present 
war,  the  appropriation  of  $500,000,000  will  soon  melt  away,  and 
our  soldiers  be  left  naked,  bare-footed,  and  but  half  fed ! 

Again,  the  erection  of  fortifications,  batteries,  military  bridges, 
etc.,  as  connected  with  the  movements  of  troops,  and  the  attack 
and  defense  of  military  positions,  forms  a  most  important  branch 
of  the  military  art.  Unless  furnished  with  a  proper  reconnaissance 
of  the  enemy's  positions,  defenses,  means  of  attack,  etc.,  a  gen- 
eral will  be  liable  to  commit  riiost  serious  errors,  both  in  his 
lines  of  operations,  his  points  of  attack,  and  his  dispositions  for 
a  battle.  And  in  order  to  ensure  such  reconnaissance  and  such 
means  of  attack  and  defense,  he  must  have  competent  engineer 
officers  and  a  proper  number  of  engineer  troops.  Without  draw- 
ing illustrations  from  European  wars,  it  will  suffice,  to  show  the 
necessity  of  such  military  reconnaissances,  to  refer  to  the      r-"-

BATTLES  OF  GREAT  BETHEL  AND  BULL  RUN. 

An  army  organized  for  operations  in  the  field,  consists  of 
several  distinct  branches,  or  arms,  viz :  the  staff  and  adminis- 
trative corps,  infantry,  cavalry,  artillery  and  engineers.  The 
staff  usually  includes  all  officers  above  the  rank  of  colonel,  and 
all  officers,  as  adjutant  general,  aids,  etc.,  not  attached  to  a  par- 
ticular corps  or  department,  and  not  serving  with  a  company, 
battalion  or  regiment.    In  most  foreign  services  there  is  a  staff

corps,  composed  of  different  grades  of  officers,  who  assist  the 
general-in-chief,  generals  of  corp  d' armies,  of  divisions  and  of 
brigades,  in  the  performance  of  their  respective  duties.  Admin- 
istrative corps  are  organized  to  provide  supplies  and  means  of 
transportation.  In  our  service,  aides-de-camp  are  appointed  from 
the  line  of  the  army,  and  the  adjutant  general's  department  is 
a  special  staff  corps ;  the  quartermasters,  commissaries,  medical 
officers  and  paymasters,  are  also  considered  as  staff  corps ;  but 
in  England  they  are  designated  as  administrative  corps.  All 
officers  of  the  staff  proper  serve  directly  under  the  orders  of 
some  general  officers ;  whereas  officers  of  these  corps  have  their 
special  administrative  duties  to  perform,  under  the  direction  of 
their  respective  chiefs.  It  is  usual  in  our  service,  however,  to 
attach  the  ranking  officer  of  each  of  these  departments  to  the 
staff  of  the  general  commanding  an  army;  and  officers  so 
attached  are  very  properly  considered  as  staff  officers .     i  a.i  ■■.-  < 

The  general  staff  of  sm  army,  organized  for  service  in  the  field, 
consists  of  the  general-commanding-in-chief  and  the  officers 
attached  to  his  personal  staff,  of  the  generals  of  corps  d'  armies, 
or  separate  columns,  and  their  respective  staffs,  of  generals  of 
divisions  and  their  staffs,  and  of  generals  of  brigades  and  their 
staffs.  Two  or  more  regiments  form  a  brigade ;  two  or  more 
brigades  a  division ;  two  or  more  divisions  &  corps  d'  armie;  and 
two  or  more  corps  d'  armies  an  army.  Brigades  are  commanded 
by  brigadier  generals  ;  divisions  by  generals  of  divisions ;  c<yrps 
d'  armies  by  lieutenant  generals;  and  armies  by  generals  or  mar- 
shals. In  our  service,  in  former  times,  we  had  the  rank  of 
lieutenant  general  and  general,  but  at  present,  only  brigadier 
and  major  generals — the  latter  title  being  very  improperly  ap- 
plied to  generals  of  division.  The  office  of  general  no  longer 
exists,  and  lieutenant  general  is  merely  an  honorary  title  by 
brevet.  Armies  are  generally  named  from  their  location  or  ob- 
ject; as  The  Army  of  the  Potomac,  The  Army  of  the  West, 
The^Ai-my  of  Invasion,  etc.  Corps  d'  armies,  divisions  and 
brigades  are  usually  designated  by  numbers  ;  as  first,  second,  etc. 
Orders  are  always  issued  from  the  Head  Quarters  of  an  army,

corps,  division  or  brigade ;  and  are  signed  by  the  general  issuing 
them,  or  by  some  member  of  his  staff. 

Having  described  the  general  staff  and  administrative  corps  of 
an  army,  we  will  now  pass  to  the  line,  or  four  principal  arms,  of 
which  it  is  always  composed — infantry,  cavalry,  artillery  and 
engineers.     ■..;.•  ■;■    '::'»•■    i^ui.j^vf^ ',*t;   •  "r .-,  i-ri\i;  ■  lU  > '^ft-^^i^'^r  rui 

Infantry  constitutes  the  great  mass  of  every  well  organized 
army.  It  is  usually  organized  into  regiments  of  one,  two  or 
three  battalions,  each  battalion  being  composed  of  either  eight 
or  ten  companies.  There  are  four  different  ways  of  engaging 
infantry,  or  of  forming  them  for  battle :  1st,  as  skirmishers,  or 
light  troops ;  2d,  in  deployed  lines ;  3d,  in  lines  of  battalions 
ployed  on  the  center,  or  formed  in  squares;  and  4th,  in  deep 
masses.  Skirmishers  are  employed  as  scouts,  to  fill  up  intervals 
between  columns,  and  to  act  on  the  flanks  and  front  of  moving 
lines  and  masses.  The  particular  manner  of  arranging  infantry 
for  battle  must  depend  upon  the  nature  of  the  ground,  the  posi- 
tion of  the  enemy,  and  the  obstacles  to  be  overcome.  Squares 
and  echelons  are  most  effective  against  cavalry.  These  forma- 
tions are  usually  left  to  the  discretion  of  the  commanders  of 
regiments  and  battalions,  who  should  always  seek  to  render  their 
forces  as  effective  as  possible  in  making  or  resisting  an  attack. 
The  best  tacticians  say  that  offensive  operations  of  infantry  on 
the  field  of  battle  require  mobility,  solidity  and  impulsion;  while 
defensive  operations  should  combine  solidity  with  the  greatest 
possible  amount  of  Jire. 

The  arm  next  in  importance  is  cavalry.  Its  principal  merit 
consists  in  its  mobility  and  velocity,  as  it  has  very  little  solidity. 
It  is  employed  in  battle  in  four  different  ways :  1st,  in  deployed 
lines ;  2d,  by  regiments,  in  columns  of  attack  on  the  center ; 
3d,  by  a  mixed  formation;  aud  4th,  by  a  deep  formation  of 
several  columns.  The  formation  to  be  adopted  in  any  particular 
case  must  depend  upon  the  character  of  the  ground,  and  the 
nature  and  position  of  the  party  to  be  attacked.  The  great 
value  of  cavalry  is  in  reconnoitering  before  a  battle,  in  charging 
upon  exposed  points  during  the  engagement,  in  covering  a  re-

treat,  and  in  pursuing  and  destroying  a  beaten  enemy.  The 
great  expense  of  cavalry,  and  the  difficulty  of  reducing  it  to 
proper  discipline,  and  the  increased  importance  of  artillery,  have 
rendered  this  arm  less  popular  than  in  former  times.  Neverthe- 
less, an  army  without  a  proper  proportion  of  cavalry  will  always 
be  wanting  in  efficiency.  McDowell's  army  was  certainly  very 
deficient  in  cavalry ;  and  to  this  deficiency  must  be  attributed, 
at  least  in  part,  the  disgraceful  disorders  of  his  retreat. 

Artillery  is  TicTf.t  to  be  considered.  The  importance  of  this  arm 
has  been  much  increased  within  the  last  few  years  by  the  use  of 
rifled  cannon,  and  the  greater  accuracy  of  fire  and  range  of  pro- 
jectiles. It  is  usually  divided  into  foot  artillery  and  horse  or 
mounted  artillery.  The  unit  of  force  in  this  arm  is  a  battery; 
which  is  usually  composed  of  six  pieces,  two  of  which  are  how- 
itzers, with  the  men  and  other  necessaries  required  to  serve  them. 
The  term  battery  is  also  applied  to  cannon  in  a  redoubt,  field 
work,  or  other  fortification,  without  any  reference  to  the  number 
of  guns.  A  regimental  organization  of  artillery  is  a  mere  nom- 
inal arrangement ;  for,  in  actual  service,  artillery  never  acts  by 
iCgiment,  unless  as  irjfantry — as  was  the  case  with  a  large  portion 
of  our  artillery  in  the  Mexican  War. 

This  arm  admits  of  three  promotions :  1st,  in  column ;  2d, 
in  battle ;  and  3d,  in  battery.  In  column,  it  ordinarily  moves 
by  sections  of  two  pieces,  each  piece  being  followed  or  preceded 
by  its  caisson.  In  battle  the  pieces  are  drawn  up  in  line,  with 
their  caissons  in  rear.  In  battery  the  formation  is  the  same, 
but  the  pieces  are  unlimbered,  and  the  guns  directed  towards  the 
enemy  and  prepared  for  firing. 

Artillery  is  used  in  battle  to  destroy  the  enemy's  works  of  de- 
fense, to  silence  his  batteries,  and  to  disorganize  his  masses ;  and 
as  an  auxiliary  force,  to  protect  the  deploying  of  our  cavalry  and 
infantry.  It  is  of  immense  value  in  protecting  a  point  of  attack, 
and  in  covering  the  retreat  of  a  broken  regiment  or  column. 
Artillery  is  one  of  the  most  scientific  branches  of  the  military 
art,  and  the  officers  of  this  arm  should  be  thoroughly  educated. 
■^  Engineer  troops,  on  the  field  of  battle,  usually  act  as  infantry,

when  notrequinjd  for  constnicting  batteries,  or  in  removing  and 
destroying  the  Material  defenses  of  the  enemy.  The  great  value 
of  this  arm,  liowcver,  is  in  making  reconnaissances,  constructing 
and  destroying  bridges,  opening  roads  and  removing  obstacles  in 
the  way  of  an  advancing  column,  and  in  constructing  defenses 
for  resisting  an  attack.  Beauregard  seems  to  have  made  good 
use  of  his  knowledge  of  engineering,  in  securing  his  position  at 
Bull  Run  and  Manassas  Junction.  Officers  of  engineers  should 
be  thoroughly  educated  in  all  the  branches  of  military  science ; 
and  in  our  service,  they  must  be  graduates  of  West  Point.      i- 

The  relative  proportions  to  be  given  to  each  of  these  different 
arms  in  an  army  must  depend,  in  some  measure,  upon  the  char- 
acter of  the  opposing  force,  the  nature  of  the  country  in  ■"  h 
operations  are  to  bo  carried  on,  and  the  obstacles  to  be  ove 
or  to  be  opposed  to  the  enemy.  Nevertheless,  experience  has 
established  certain  general  rules  applicable  to  most  cases  of  army 
organization.  The  infantry,  as  already  stated,  forms  the  great 
mass  of  every  force  organized  for  service  in  the  field,  and  is 
made  the  basis  of  the  apportionment ;  the  cavalry  is  from  one- 
fourth  to  one-sixth  of  the  infantry;  the  artillery  about  two-thirds 
of  the  cavalry ;  and  the  engineers  about  two-thirds  of  the  artil- 
lery. It  is  the  opinion  of  some,  that  recent  experience  requires 
a  diminution  of  the  cavalry  force,  and  a  corresponding  increase 
of  artillery.  This  may  well  be  done  in  particular  cases,  but  it  is 
doubtful  whether  there  is  any  sufficient  authority  for  changing 
the  general  rule  adopted  by  the  most  experienced  military  writers 
of  Europe.  Any  great  departure  from  this  rule,  or  deficiency  of 
one  arm,  as  compared  with  the  others,  will  probably  be  felt  in 
the  results  of  campaign.  .■.  .       -,    , 


The  foregoing  brief  analysis  of  the  art  of  war  is  necessarily 
very  imperfect ;  nevertheless,  it  may  assist  a  popular  understand- 
ing of  the  subject,  and  serve  to  convince  our  officers  of  militia 
and  volunteers  that,  in  order  to  qualify  themselves  for  their  im- 
portant duties,  they  have  something  more  to  learn  than  the  mere 
manual  of  arms,  and  the  elementary  drill  of  companies  and  bat-

talions.  It  certainly  is  an  anomalous  phase  in  the  character  of 
of  our  people,  that  while  they  seek  experienced  and  competent 
lawyers  and  doctors  to  conduct  their  law  business  and  to  care  for 
their  health,  they  are  willing  to  intrust  the  expenditure  of  vast 
sums  of  money,  the  honor  of  their  flag,  and  even  their  lives,  to 
generals  who  have  neither  military  experience  nor  military  ia- 
structiou.

An  effective  organization  of  troops  for  all  purposes  is  composed  of 
three  arms — Infantry,  Cavalry  and  Artillery,    Upon  a  due  propor- 
tion of  each  of  these  depends  their  capacity  for  attack  or  defense. 

Infantry  is  subdivided  into  "  Infantry  of  the  Line,"  who  bear  the 
brunt  of  the  battle;  "Light  Infantry,"  who  act  as  flankers;  and 
"Kiflemen,"  or  sharp-shooters. 

Cavalry  is  second  in  impoi-tance  to  Infantry,  and  should  be  in  the 
proportion  of  about  one  regiment  to  four. 

Artillery  has  been  developed  to  such  perfection  that  in  modern 
warfare  it  is  sometimes  the  most  eflective  arm  of  the  service.  It 
should,  however,  be  well  supported,  and  two  batteries  of  six 
(6  pounders)  field  pieces  is  sufficient  for  one  division  of  four  foot 
regiments. 

Upon  this  basis,  then,  5,0(10  troops  divided  as  follows,  will  consti- 
tute an  effective 
'  Army  coups.  .       :..     • 

2  Regiments  of  Infantry  of  the  Line 2,000 

1  Regiment  of  Light  Infantry 1,000 

I  Regiment  of  Riflemen.... 1,000 

1  Regiment  of  Cavalry. 1,000 

2  Batteries  (6  pieces  each)  of  Artillery,  or  4  batteries  of  4 

pieces,  if  mountain  howitzers  are  uded

PACIFIC    STATES. 


:^^l; 


More  than  one-fourth  of  the  entire  area  of  the  United  States 
lies  west  of  the  Rocky  Mountains,  comprisinj^  the  States  of  Cali- 
fornia and  Oregon,  and  the  Territories  of  Wasliington,  Nevada, 
Utah  and  the  western  half  of  New  Mexico.  For  the  want  of  a 
general  term  comprehending  all  this  region,  we  have  chosen  the 
designation  Pacific  States  as  the  most  expressive  that  could  be 
selected  at  present,  and  one  which  will  naturally  come  into  use 
to  distinguish  the  new  State  organizations  that  are  destined  to 
be  formed  from  time  to  time  on  this  side  of  the  mountains,  from 
those  known  to  Californians  as  the  Atlantic  States. 

The  Pacific  States  are  bounded  north  by  the  British  Posses- 
sions, east  by  the  Rocky  Mountains,  south  by  the  Mexican 
boundary  line,  and  west  by  the  Pacific  jOcean.  They  lie  mainly 
between  tho  32d  and  49th  parallells  of  north  latitude,  and  Imj- 
tween  tiie  11 0th  and  125th  degrees  of  west  longitude  ;  the  terri- 
tory ihus  included  forming  a  parallellogram  about  1,100  miles 
in  length  from  north  to  south,  by  800  miles  in  breadth,  and  cov- 
ering a  superficial  area  of  880,000  square  miles. 

This  region  is  divided  into  two  unequal  portions  by  the  Sierra 
Nevada  Mountains  and  their  northern  extension,  the  Cascade 
Range.  The  general  elevation  of  this  chain  of  mountains  is 
about  9,000  feet — numerous  isolated  peaks  rising  to  a  much 
higher  altitude.  Between  the  Sierras  and  Cascades,  or  central 
range,  on  the  west,  and  the  Rocky  Mountains  on  the  east,  lie  three 
great  internal  basins,  viz  :  the  Plateaus  of  the  Up^-  Columbia, 
whose  waters,  draining  eastern  Oix'gon  and  Washington,  find 
egress  tlirough  a  pass  in  tlie  Cascades ;  the  Great  Fremont  Basin, 
comprising  Nevada  and  Utah,  whose  Avaters  never  find  the  ocean ; 
and  the  Colorado  District,  a  rainless  desert  in  southern  California

and  western  New  Mexico,  through  which  the  Colorado  River 
flows  to  the  Gulf  of  California.  On  the  west  of  the  great  cen- 
tral range,  and  east  of  the  Coast  Range — which  projects  into 
lieadlands  and  recedes  from  the  shore  into  double  ranges,  and 
bristles  with  numerous  spurs  along  the  whole  coast — lie  three 
great  agricultural  valleys,  viz  :  that  of  Puget  Sou7id  and  the  Cow- 
litz River  in  Washington  ;  the  Willamette  Valley  in  Oregon ;  and 
the  Valley  of  the  Sacramento  and  San  Joaquin  Rivers  in  California. 

The  Pacific  States  abound  in  every  description  of  mineral 
wealth.  The  precious  metals  arc  successfully  mined  in  large 
tracts  of  hundreds  of  miles  in  extent,  and  new  and  surprising 
developments  aie  constantly  being  made.  Along  the  slopes  of 
the  Sierras,  among  the  mountains  of  northern  California  and 
southern  Oregon,  and  on  tlic  tributaries  of  the  Columbia  river 
east  of  the  Cascades,  gold  in  placers  and  quartz  veins  exists  in 
inexhaustible  quantities.  Immense  veins  of  silver,  cropping  out 
into  ledges  and  penetrating  the  earth  to  an  unknown  depth,  have 
attracted  millions  of  dollars  in  capital  to  the  desert  plains  and 
barren  mountain  ranges  of  Nevada.  Mines  of  quicksilver  rival- 
ing those  of  Almadcn,  and  deposits  of  copper  not  less  extensive 
than  those  of  Su])crior,  and  the  multiplying  indications  of  tin, 
iron,  coal  and  other  useful  minerals  throughout  this  region,  are 
full  of  exultant  promise  of  the  future,  for  they  establish  the  fact 
that  the  Pacific  States  stand  unrivaled  in  the  variety,  extent,  and 
wealth  of  their  mineral  resources.  But  our  mountains  and  val- 
lies  are  not  valuable  alone  for  the  treasure  buried  beneath  the 
surface.  Vast  forests  of  timber,  often  of  gigantic  growth,  clothe 
the  slopes  of  the  former,  and  agricultural  ])roduce  of  every  des- 
cription known  to  tropical  or  temperate  climates  is  raised  in 
abundance  and  exported  from  the  latter. 

In  addition  to  these  attractions,  the  marvelous  salubrity  of  our 
climate  infuses  new  life  and  vigor  into  the  veins  of  the  toil-worn 
and  debilitated,  and  almost  rejuvenates  the  aged ;  and  the  beauty 
and  grandeur  of  our  varied  scenery  captivates  the  poet,  the  artist, 
and  the  lover  of  the  novel  and  picturesque.

quiring  an  immense  but  profitable  outlay  of  capital  in  canals  and 
ditches.  Its  quartz  resources,  more  recently  developed,  are  prov- 
ipg  very  remunerative.  Bich,  though  small,  agricultural  valleys 
exist  in  the  foot-hills,  and  noble  forests  of  pine  and  spruce  stretch 
up  the  slopes  of  the  Sierras.  Among  these  is  a  gigantic  forest 
of  world-wide  fame — the  Mammoth  Tree  Grove,  containing  trees 
300  feet  in  height,  and  more  than  100  feet  in  girth. 

Scarcely  less  important  than  the  gold  mines  of  Calaveras,  are 
the  extensive  veins  of  copper  lately  discovered  in  Salt  Spring 
Valley,  near  the  western  border  of  the  county.  They  are  said  to 
be  not  inferior  in  richness  to  the  celebrated  copper  mines  of  Lake 
Superior.  Silver  ore  of  paying  richness  has  also  been  taken  from 
several  localities  in  this  county.

8.    EL  DORADO  COUNTY.  .^::,^1 

This  county,  stretching  across  the  Sierras  in  the  central  portion 
of  the  State,  contains  an  area  of  about  2,300  square  miles,  full 
two-thirds  of  which  is  mineral  land.  In  point  of  population  and 
mineral  productiveness  it  is  one  of  the  most  important  counties 
in  the  State.  Numerous  small  valleys  adapted  to  agricultural 
and  grazing  purposes,  and  open  forests  of  oak  timber  abound  in 
its  western  part ;  while  inexhaustible  foi-ests  of  pine,  spruce  and 
fir  clothe  the  slopes  and  summits  of  the  Sierras.  At  Coloma,  in 
this  county,  gold  was  first  discovered  in  1848,  and  now  an  exten- 
sive system  of  ditches  and  canals  enables  every  hill  and  mining

Alabaster  Cave,  situated  near  the  valuable  limestone  quarries 
in  the  western  part  of  the  county,  is  a  famous  place  of  resort. 
The  Placerville  road  over  the  Sierras  is  the  mainly  traveled

Though  known  to  contain  mineral  wealth,  the  mineral  resources 
of  this  county  have  been  but  slightly  developed,  owing  to  the 
scarcity  of  w  iter.  The  land  in  the  vicinity  of  King's  River  and 
the  Tulare  Canal  (a  projected  work)  is  well  adapted  for  agri- 
cultural purposes.  The  canal  is  intended  to  connect  Tulare  Lake 
with  the  great  bend  of  the  San  Joaquin  River,  and  will  drain  some 
of  the  most  fertile  and  valuable  farming  land  in  the  State.

Y's3r  /I     10.    HUMBOLDT  COUNTY. 

This  county,  situated  on  the  sea  coast,  contains  an  area  of 
about  3,000  square  miles.  Humboldt  Bay,  the  only  harbor  in  the 
State  north  of  San  Francisco,  gives  the  county  superior  com- 
mercial advantages.  The  land  in  the  vicinity  of  the  bay,  and  in 
the  valleys  of  Eel  River  and  its  tributaries,  is  well  adapted  for  the 
support  of  a  farming  population;  while  the  hills  in  the  central 
and  eastern  portions  of  the  county  afford  an  extensive  range  for 
stock.  A  strip  of  redwood  timber,  stretching  through  the  county 
from  north  to  south,  forms  the  basis  of  an  active  and  prosperous 
lumbering  business.  The  salmon  fisheries  on  Eel  River  are  second 
to  none  in  the  State.  The  commerce  from  this  port  extends  to 
the  islands  of  the  Pacific,  China,  and  South  America,  as  well  as 
to  other  points  on  the  coast.

12.  LAKE  COUNTY. 

This  county  was  organized  from  the  northern  half  of  Napa  in 
1861.  It  derives  its  name  from  Clear  Lake,  a  beautiful  sheet  of 
water  embosomed  in  the  mountains.     The  land  in  the  vicinity  of

the  lake  is  well  adapted  to  agricaltural  purposes,  and  together 
with  several  fine  valleys  which  open  into  the  lake  valley,  sup- 
ports a  thrifty  population.  The  mountains  abound  in  game  and 
the  streams  in  trout,  and  the  scenery  is  picturesque  and  at- 
tractive to  the  tourist.

13.    LOS  ANGELES  COUNTY. 

This  county  embraces  the  most  fertile  district  in  ^he  southern 
portion  of  the  State.  Its  broad,  rich  plains  and  numerous  valleys 
sloping  westward  from  the  Coast  Bange,  are  peculiarly  adapted 
to  the  culture  of  the  grape,  and  Los  Angeles  is  already  the  vine- 
yard of  the  western  world.  Besides  the  remarkable  agricultural 
resources  of  this  county,  the  extent  and  variety  of  its  mineral 
wealth,  embracing  gold,  silver,  copper  and  tin,  has  attracted  much 
attention.    The  mineral  springs  in  the  vicinity  of  Los  Angeles

are  said  to  possess  superior  medicinal  qualities,  and  the  salubrity 
of  the  climate,  being  subject  to  neither  the  extreme  heat  of  the 
internal  valleys,  nor  the  chilling  sea  winds  of  the  more  northern 
coast,  is  unsurpassed.

15.    MARIPOSA  COUNTY. 

This  county*  though  lying  in  the  central  portion  of  the  State, 
occupies  the  most  southern  portion  of  what  is  called  the  Southern 
mines.  Nearly  the  entire  surface  of  the  county  abounds  in  rich 
placer  and  quartz  gold  mines,  that  can  be  profitably  worked  for 
many  years  to  come.  Small  valleys,  suitable  for  cultivation, 
exist  in  the  foot  hills,  and  forests  of  splendid  timber  cover  the 
mountain  slopes. 

The  Yo-Semite  Valley,  at  the  head-waters  of  the  Merced 
river,  in  this  county,  is  justly  ranked  among  the  wonders  of  the 
world.  It  is  a  magnificent  rift  or  chasm  in  the  Sierras,  little 
more  than  a  mile  in  width,  and  some  ten  miles  in  length,  with 
perpendicular  walls  from  2,600  to  4,500  feet  in  height.  Several 
mountain  streams  plunge  down  its  precipitous  sides,  some  of  them 
lost  in  spray  before  reaching  the  depths  below.  Pages  would  be 
required  for  a  description  of  this  valley,  which  in  the  magnitude

18.    MONO  COUNTY. 

This  county  was  recently  erected  from  that  portion  of  Calave- 
ras, Mariposa  and  Nevada  Counties  lying  east  of  the  Sierra  Ne- 
vada Mountains,  and  embraces  a  long  narrow  strip  between  the 
summit  of  the  latter  and  the  eastern  boundary  of  the  State.  This 
region  is  believed  to  bo  very  rich  in  the  variety  and  extent  of  its 
mineral  wealth.  The  silver  lodes  in  the  Esmeralda  District  havo 
prospected  very  richly,  and  numerous  quartz  mills  will  soon  be  in 
operation  in  that  locality.  The  placer  and  quartz  gold  mines  in 
the  vicinity  of  Mono  Lake  are  being  successfully  worked,  and 
though  imperfectly  prospected,  indications  of  rich  deposits  of  the 
precious  metals  have  been  discovered  in  other  parts  of  the  county. 
Its  great  elevation  above  the  sea  renders  it  unsuitable  for  the  cul- 
tivation of  fruit  and  many  of  the  cereals,  but  a  large  extent  of 
land  is  adapted  to  grazing  purposes.

*  19.    MONTEREY  COUNTY. 

This  county  is  situated  on  the  coast,  stretching  southward  from 
the  bay  of  Monterey,  and  covers  an  area  of  about  4,000  square 
miles.  It  lies  between  the  ocean  and  the  main  Coast  Range 
some  fifty  miles  to  the  east,  stretching  across  two  inner  ranges 
and  the  intervening  valleys.  About  two-thirds  of  the  surface  of 
this  county  is  mountainous  and  admirably  adapted  to  stock  rais- 
ing, particularly  the  raising  of  sheep — the  elevated  plateaus  and 
sub-valleys  being  peculiarly  suited  to  their  growth — and  the 
wool-clip  far  exceeds  that  of  any  other  county  in  the  State.  In 
the  productive  valleys  of  the  Bonita  and  Pajero  Rivers,  a  numer- 
ous fiirming  population  derive  an  easy  support.  The  mountains 
abound  in  indications  of  minerals — silver,  quicksilver,  lead,  etc., 
but  the  mines  have  not  been  worked  to  any  considerable  extent.

20.    NAPA  COUNTY. 

Napa  Valley,  in  this  county,  is  one  of  the  richest  agricnltaral 
districts  in  the  State.  The  remarkable  yield  of  its  agricultural 
products,  and  tho  variety  and  perfection  of  its  fruits,  are  not 
excelled  by  any  other  valley  of  similar  extent  on  the  coast. 
The  "White  Sulphnr  Springs  and  Soda  Springs  in  this  county  are 
celebrated  for  their  medicinal  qualities,  and  these,  together  with 
picturesque  scenery  and  a  fine  climate,  are  great  attractions  for

This  is  preeminently  a  mining  county,  over  500  square  miles, 
or  about  one-half  of  its  entire  area,  being  mineral  land.  Its 
quartz  mines  ai'o  perhaps  more  productive,  and  in  the  vicinity  of 
Grass  Valley  employ  a  larger  capital,  than  those  of  any  other 
county  in  the  State;  and  the  extensive  placer  mines  continue  to 
yield  remunerative  returns  to  a  large  and  increasing  population. 
Indications  of  rich  silver  lodes  have  been  discovered  near  Grass 
Valley,  and  companies  have  been  organized  to  develope  them. 
The  surface  of  this  county  is  almost  wholly  mountainous,  and  is 
covered  with  extensive  forests  of  timbers-oak,  maple  and  the 
harder  varieties  on  the  lower  slopes,  and  pine,  spruce  and  fir  in 
the  higher  altitudes.  Many  of  the  small  mountain  valleys  are 
v/ell  adapted  to  agricultural  purposes,  and  very  productive,  fruit 
and  grain  being  raised  in  quantities  almost  sufficient  to  supply 
the  home  market.

This  is  the  largest  county  in  the  State,  and  abounds  in  unde- 
veloped mineral  wealth  of  every  description.  Gold,  silver,  iron, 
copper,  quicksilver  and  lead,  are  known  to  exist  in  large  quanti- 
ties. A  small  portion  of  the  county  lying  west  of  the  Coast 
Range  is  adapted  for  tillage  and  grazing,  but  the  great  bulk  of 
the  county,  lying  east  of  the  Coast  Range,  is  a  parched  and 
barren  desert,  varied  only  by  broken  ranges  of  naked  mountains, 
and  a  few  streams  winding  through  narrow  but  fertile  valleys.

26.    SAN  DIEGO  COUNTY. 

San  Diego  county  extends  across  the  southern  extremity  of 
the  State,  and  contains  about  13,000  square  miles.  A  broad 
belt  lying  along  the  coast  is  adapted  to  grazing  purposes.  The 
Coast  Range,  with  its  numerous  spurs,  constitutes  an  extensive 
mountainous  district,  well  supplied  with  timber,  and  known  to 
contain  a  great  variety  of  minerals.  The  Colorado  Desert,  level 
and  shrubless,  stretches  eastward  from  the  tnountains  to  the  Col- 
orado River.  It  lies  below  the  level  of  the  Gulf  of  California, 
the  waters  of  which  are  believed  to  have  covered  it  at  a  former 
period.  San  Diego  harbor  is  one  of  the  safest  and  most  com- 
modious on  the  coast.

27.  SAN  FRANCISCO  COUNTY. 

The  City  and  County  of  San  Francisco  (consolidated  in  July, 
1856,)  covers  an  area  of  about  forty-four  square  miles,  at  the 
northern  extremity  of  the  peninsula  which  separates  the  south- 
em  arm  of  the  Bay  of  San  Francisco  from  the  ocean.  The  city 
is  advantageously  situated  for  commercial  purposes,  and  is  the 
most  important  port  on  the  west  coast  of  America.  Its  harbor 
is  deep,  safe,  and  capacious  enough  for  the  navies  of  the  world, 
and  ships  from  ever^  land  are  constantly  arriving  and  departing 
through  its  Golden  Gate.  The  growth  of  the  city  has  been  mar- 
velously  rapid — from  a  hamlet  of  adobe  huts  in  1849,  it  has 
become  a  substantially  built  metropolis  of  83,000  inhabitants, 
and  is  yet  in  the  vigor  of  its  growth.  Yerba  Buena  and  Alca- 
traz  Islands,  in  the  Bay,  and  the  Farralloue  Islands,  twenty  miles 
west,  belong  to  San  Francisco.  Fort  Point  and  Fort  Alcatraz, 
at  the  entrance  of  the  harbor,  are  provided  with  heavy  ordnance, 
and  afford  ample  protection  against  foreign  invasion.

28.  SAN  JOAQUIN  COUNTY. 

This  county  is  situated  at  the  junction  of  the  Sacramento  and 
San  Joaquin  rivers,  near  the  geographical  center  of  the  State, 
and  stands  first  in  agricultural  wealth  and  resources.  Its  area  is 
about  1,200  square  miles,  one-fourth  of  which  is  reclaimable 
swamp  land  of  great  fertility.  San  Joaquin  is  pre-eminently  a 
wheat  growing  and  stock  raising  county;  its  broad  fields  of 
golden  grain  are  a  surer  and  more  productive  crop  than  the 
golden  sands  of  some  of  the  mining  counties.    It  exports  wheat

fection  and  abundance.  Special  attention  has  been  paid  to  the 
cultivation  of  fruit  and  vegetables,  every  variety  of  which  finds 
a  congenial  soil  and  climate  in  this  fertile  and  sheltered  valley. 
The  surrounding  hills  are  well  adapted  for  grazing  purposes, 
and  forests  of  good  building  timber  cover  the  slopes  of  the  Santa 
Cruz  mountains  on  the  west, 

San  Jose  and  Santa  Clara  are  flourishing  places,  three  miles 
apart — the  former  a  city  of  3,000  inhabitants.  The  beautiful 
gardens  in  these  towns  are  irrigated  by  means  of  artesian  wells, 
for  which  the  geological  formation  of  the  valley  is  very  favora- 
ble. The  quicksilver  mines  in  this  county,  about  fifteen  miles 
south  of  San  Jose,  are  the  richest  in  the  world ;  the  most  noted 
is  New  Almaden,  which  is  perhaps  more  productive  than  its 
famous  namesake  in  old  Spain  ever  was.  Three  others,  the 
Enriqueta,  Guadaloupe  and  New  Idria,  are  in  the  vicinity.  The 
extraordinary  yield  of  these  mines  has  already  reduced  the  mar- 
ketable value  of  quicksilver  throughout  the  world.

33.  SANTA  CRUZ  COUNTY. 

This  is  a  long,  narrow  county,  situated  on  the  Bay  of  Monte- 
rey, between  the  summit  of  the  Coast  Range  and  the  ocean. 
The  land  at  the  base  of  the  mountains  spreads  out  into  rich 
tracts  and  fertile  valleys,  well  auupted  for  agricultural  purposes, 
and  the  more  elevated  region  is  covered  with  dease  forests  of 
excellent  redwood  timber.  Gold,  silver  and  quicksilver  are 
known  to  exist,  but,  with  the  exception  of  lime,  which  is  an  arti- 
cle of  export,  the  mineral  resources  of  Santa  Cruz  county  have 
not  been  developed.  Its  industrial  interests,  however,  are  oon- 
fiiderable.  The  paper  mills,  and  particularly  the  tanneries,  in 
this  county  are  the  most  important  iu  the  State.

34.  SHASTA  COUNTY. 

Shasta  'county  embraces  a  large  extent  of  mountainous  coun- 
try at  the  head  of  the  Sacramento  Valley,  where  the^Coast  Range 
and  Sierras  approach  and  meet.  The  valley  land  and  lower  foot- 
hills are  fertile  and  productive,  and  being  settled  by  a  substan- 
tial farming  population.  The  more  elevated  regions  are  well 
adapted  for  grazing  purposes,  and  inexhaustible  forests  of  pine, 
cedar,  oak  and  ash  exist  throughout  the  mountainous  districts. 
The  gold  mines  in  this  county  are  extensive  and  profitable,  and 
in  the  south-westei-n  part  have  been  long  and  favorably  known 
for  their  constant  and  abundant  yield.  Among  the  undeveloped 
mineral  resources  are  copper,  iron,  coal  and  several  mineral 
springs.

.  This  is  almost  exclusively  a  mining  county,  and  is  situated 
among  the  Sierra  Nevada  Mountains  in  the  northern  mines.  Its 
rich  gold  placers,  hill  diggings  and  quartz  veins  have  attracted 
hither  a  numerous  and  hardy  pop  ulation,  and  occasioned  the  prof- 
itable outlay  of  a  vast  amount  of  capital  in  quartz  mills,  tunnels 
and  ditches.  Henness  Pass,  in  this  county,  is  one  of  the  best 
passes  over  the  Sierras,  and  the  route  is  rapidly  becoming  a  fav- 
orite one.  *    .  ,   ,  r

36.  SISKIYOU  COUNY. 

This  large  county,  stretching  nearly  across  the  northern  ex- 
tremity of  the  State,  is  distinguished  for  the  productiveness  of 
its  gold  mines,  "It  is  interspersed  with  and  surrounded  on  all 
sides  by  towering  mountains,"  one  of  which,  Mount  Shasta, 
an  extinct  volcano  whose  summit  rises  to  an  altitude  of 
14,000  feet,  the  highest  peak  in  California.  Two  fine  valleys 
in  the  western  part  of  the  county — Scott  and  Shasta  Val- 
leys— redeem  it  somewhat  from  the  sterility  and  ruggedness  of  its 
general  aspect.  These  valleys,  though  elevated  several  thousand 
feet  above  sea  level,  are  very  fertile  and  susceptible  of  a  high 
state  of  cultivation,  and  the  rich  green  foliage  which  clothes 
them  in  spring  and  early  summer  presents  a  singular  contrast 
with  the  snow-clad  peaks  around  them.  The  flourishing  city  of 
Yreka,  the  largest  north  of  Marysville,  is  located  in  Shasta  Val- 
ley, and  the  extraordinary  yield  of  the  mines  in  that  vicinity  and 
farther  west  has  given  it  a  long  and  continued  prosperity.

of  the  Bay  of  San  Francisco — all  its  surplus  products  are  readily 
shipped  to  market.  Suisun  is  the  principal  shipping  port  of  the 
county.  Benicia,  formerly  the  Capital  of  the  State,  contains 
several  seminaries  of  learning,  and  is  a  United  States  military 
post.  The  Navy  Yard,  at  Mare  Island— a  tongue  of  land  adjoin- 
ing Vallejo — is  the  only  one  on  the  west  coast  of  America,  and 
when  finislied  according  to  the  extensive  scale  adopted,  it  will  be 
the  largest,  most  complete  and  best  dockyard  in  the  world.

This  county  embraces  one  of  the  richest  and  most  flomishing 
agricultural  districts  in  the  State.  There  are  four  principal  val- 
leys— Sonoma,  Petaluma,  Santa  Rosa  and  Russian  River — that 
vie  with  each  other  in  fertility  of  soil  and  variety  of  products. 
The  mountains  of  the  northern  part  are  cc  vered  with  redwood 
forests.  The  lower  hills  furnish  a  fine  range  for  grazing  pur- 
poses, and  abound  in  beautiful  open  groves  of  oak  timber.  The 
valleys  are  the  homes  of  a  thrifty  and  rapidly  increasing  popula-

reclitimable  for  either  of  these  purposes.  The  mining  interests 
in  the  eastern  part  of  the  county  are  quite  extensive,  but  owing 
to  the  scarcity  of  water  the  gold  yield  has  not  been  equal  to  the 
capacity  of  the  mines.  Important  veins  of  copper  have  also 
been  found,  and  other  minerals  are  known  to  exist  within  its 
borders.

40.  SUTTER  COUNTY.         ' 

This  county  embraces  a  level  tract  of  land  between  the  Sacra- 
mento and  Feather  Rivers,  in  the  central  part  of  the  Sacramento 
Valley,  and  covers  an  area  of  about  six  hundred  square  miles. 
The  land  is  well  adapted  for  agricultural  purposes,  and  a  por- 
tion of  it,  which  is  annually  overflowed,  affords  excellent  pastur- 
age for  several  months  in  the  year.  The  Marysville  Buttes,  in 
the  northern  part  of  the  county,  form  a  singular  feature  in  the

'  41.  TEHAMA  COUNTY. 

This  county  is  situated  near  the  head  of  the  Sacramento  Val- 
ley, on  both  sides  of  the  Sacramento  River,  and  embraces  a  fine 
agricultural  and  grazing  district,  which  is  gradually  being  im- 
proved. Red  Bluff,  at  the  head  of  steam  navigation,  is  a  flour- 
ishing place,  through  which  most  of  the  freight  and  travel  des- 
tined for  the  northern  mines  must  pass.  In  the  vicinity  is  Tus- 
can Springs,  a  salt  mine  of  some  note,  which  is  yielding  well. 
The  mountain  crests  on  each  side  of  the  valley  are  covered  with 
snow  the  major  part  of  the  year,  and  present  a  fine  contrast  to  the

This  is  an  elevated,  mountainous  county  in  the  northern  part 
of  the  State,  and  abounds  in  auriferous  wealth  throughout  nearly 
its  whole  extent.  It  is  drained  by  the  numerous  branches  of  the 
Trinity  River,  which  flows  westward  to  the  ocean.  Many  of 
these  small  streams  cut  their  way  down  the  mountain  sides  in 
deep  canons,  at  the  bottom  of  which  the  rich  river  diggings  are 
found.  The  land  suitable  for  agricultural  purposes  is  limited, 
and  lies  in  narrow  strips  along  the  banks  of  the  streams  at  the 
bottoms  of  deep  valleys.

43.   TULARE  COUNTY. 

Tulare  county  derives  its  name  from  Tulare  Lake,  and  the 
luxuriant  growth  of  tules  on  its  marshy  borders.  The  county  is 
divided  by  the  Sierras  into  two  nearly  equal  portions,  widely  dif- 
ferent in  their  character.  That  part  lying  east  of  the  mountains 
is  a  rich  silver  mining  district,  known  as  the  Coso  region,  and  is 
attracting  a  large  amount  of  capital  for  its  developement.  The 
mountains  are  covered  with  immense  forests  of  timber,  among 
which  there  are  said  to  be  groves  of  gigantic  trees.  The  western 
part  of  the  county  is  one  of  the  finest  agricultural  and  grazing 
districts  in  the  State,  and  in  the  neighborhood  of  Yisalia  is  rapid- 
ly filling  up  with  an  enterprising  population.    The  contemplated

This  county  lies  on  the  western  slope  of  the  Sierras  in  the 
central  part  of  the  State,  and  is  remarkable  chiefly  for  its  inex- 
haustible mines  of  gold.  The  placers,  tunnel  diggings,  and 
quartz  veins  have  yielded  such  remunerative  returns,  that  ener- 
getic capitalists  have  expended  millions  of  dollars  in  the  con- 
struction of  ditches,  flames  and  mills  to  facilitate  mining  opera- 
tions, and  have  generally  found  their  enterprise^amply  rewarded.

The  higher  slopes  of  the  monntains  are  covered  with  vast  forests 
of  pine  and  cedar,  and  the  timber  is  sometimes  conveyed  to 
market  by  being  floated  down  the  flumes  built  for  mining  pur- 
poses. Numerous  small  valleys  in  the  foot  hills  are  susceptible

■      OREGON.    :.';7:  ,.';■■;::;... 

Oregon  was  organized  as  a  Territory,  May  2d,  1843;  it  was 
divided  by  the  formation  of  Washington  Territory  in  1853, 
and  on  the  twelfth  of  Febniary,  1854,  the  State  of  Oregon,  with 
its  present  limits,  was  admitted  into  the  Union.  It  is  bounded 
on  the  north  and  east  by  Washington,  on  the  south  by  Nevada 
and  California,  and  on  the  west  by  the  "Ocean.  Its  form  is  nearly 
regular,  being  about  four  hundred  miles  in  length,  from  east  to 
west,  by  two  hundred  and  seventy-five  miles  in  width,  including 
an  area  of  more  than  100,000  square  miles. 

The  State  is  divided  into  an  eastern  and  western  portion  by  the 
Cascade  Kange.  Of  the  eastern  portion,  comprising  more  than 
two-thirds  of  its  whole  extent,  but  little  is  known,  save  that  the 
face  of  the  country  is  divei*sified  with  extensive  ranges  of  moun- 
tains, large  rivers,  valleys  and  lakes,  and  contains  wide  tracts  of 
land  adapted  for  grazing  and  agricultural  purposes,  as  yet  unten- 
anted by  the  white  man. 

The  western  portion  is  divided  into  three  principal  valleys — 
the  Willamette,  the  Umpqua  and  the  Rogue  River — which 
abound  in  all  the  requisites  for  agricultural  pre-eminence.  Of 
these,  the  Willamette  Valley  is  the  most  favored ;  possessing  a 
soil  of  unsurpassed  fertility,  a  mild  and  genial  climate,  an  abund- 
ant growth  of  timber,  large  natural  pastures  where  stock  may 
range  unsheltered  the  year  round,  an  excellent  commercial  posi- 
tion, superior  facilities  for  transportation,  and  a  rapidly  increas- 
ing population.  With  these  advantages  it  will,  when  its  vast 
resources  are  developed,  contribute  much  towards  the  future  agri- 
cultural importance  of  Oregon ,

This  is  one  of  the  north-western  counties  of  the  State,  and  is 
situated  on  the  Columbia  Eiver,  from  which  it  derives  its  name. 
The  low  land  in  the  eastern  part  is  fertile  and  well  adapted  for

one  to  which  the  farming  class  have  devoted  most  attention.

cial importance,  the  Scappoose  Mountains  being  heavily  tim- 
bered with  fir  and  cedar  of  the  finest  quality.  The  mineral 
resources  are  also  considerable.  Gold  has  been  found  in  the

habitable  portion  bordering  on  the  Columbia  River.  "  It  con-

has  greatly  increased  during  the  past  year,  in  consequence  of  the 
rich  mineral  discoveries  in  the  Nez  Perces  country  and  adjacent 
locKlities."  The  large  valley  of  the  Dcschute  River  at  the  base 
of  the  Cascades  forms  an  extensive  range  for  stock.  The  Grand 
Bonde  and  Powder  River  valleys,  in  the  eastern  part,  are  also

WASHINGTON  TEEEITORY. 

Washington  Territory  was  organized  March  2d,  1853.  It 
occupies  the  north-western  portion  of  the  domain  of  the  United 
States,  and  is  bounded  north  by  the  Straits  of  Fuca  and  British 
Columbia,  east  by  the  Rocky  Mountains,  south  by  Utah  and 
Oregon,  and  west  by  Oregon  and  the  Pacific  Ocean.  Like  Oregon 
it  is  divided  by  the  Cascades,  but  into  very  unequal  portions. 
The  most  marked  feature  of  the  western  part  is  Admiralty  Inlet 
and  its  extension,  Puget  Sound — ^both  popularly  known  by  the 
latter  name.  Puget  Sound  penetrates  nearly  one  hundred  miles 
inland,  and  is  full  of  fine  harbors,  navigable  by  the  largest 
vessels  afloat,  presenting  everywhere  bold  shores,  that  are  safely 
approached  for  lading  purposes,  without  the  intervention  of 
wharves.  A  large  scope  of  country  bordering  on  Puget  Sound 
and  extending  southward  is  well  adapted  for  agricultural  and 


Hiii'iimj  I  II

|i': 


grazing  purposes,  and  capable  of  sustaining  a  large  population. 
Much  of  the  same  region  is  covered  with  an  excellent  quality  of 
timber,  which  forms  the  basis  of  an  extensive  lumber  business  ; 
furnishing  employment  to  a  large  number  of  persons,  and  con- 
stituting an  important  article  of  commerce. 

The  eastern  division  of  the  Territory,  comprising  by  far  the 
larger  portion,  has  attracted  attention  principally  through  its 
extensive  gold  fields.  The  Columbia  River,  which  drains  this 
entire  region,  is  fonned  by  the  union  of  two  main  branches — ^the 
Snake  River,  flowing  from  the  south,  and  the  Upper  Columbia 
or  main  branch,  which  takes  its  rise  in  the  British  Posses- 
sions. The  Wenatchee,  Okanagon,  Kettle  River  and  Colville 
mines  are  on  the  tributaries  of  the  Upper  Columbia ;  and  the 
Nez  Perces  and  Salmon  River  mines  are  on  the  eastern  branches 
of  Snake  River,  where  recent  prospecting  has  developed  mar- 
vellous richness,  surpassing  anything  that  has  been  hitherto 
discovered  north  of  California.  There  are  indications  that"  the 
entire  western  slope  of  the  Rocky  Mountains  in  this  Territory 
abounds  in  auriferous  wealth.

I  -         NEVADA  TERRITORY. 

The  Territory  of  Nevada  was  organized  March  2d,  1861,  from 
that  portion  of  Utah  lying  west  of  the  116th  degree  of  longitude. 
It  is  bounded  north  by  Oregon  and  Washington,  east  by  Utah, 
south  by  New  Mexico  and  California,  and  west  by  California. 
The  area  of  Nevada  has  been  estimated  at  46,000  square  miles, 
making  it  equal  in  extent  to  the  State  of  Pennsylvania,  but  it  is 
at  least  one-third  larger.  It  occupies  the  western  portion  of  the 
Great  Fremont  Basin,  an  elevated  plateau  which  is  intersected 
and  nearly  surrounded  by  barren  mountains,  and  whose  streams 
cither  lose  themselves  in  the  thirsty  sands,  or,  charged  with 
alkali  derived  from  the  soil  tlirough  which  they  flow,  terminate  in 
saline  -  Jvcs  that  have  no  outlet. 

A  system  of  fertile  valleys,  however,  extending  along  the  base 
of  the  Sierras,  renders  the  western  portion  of  the  Territory  in- 
habitable and  inviting.  Of  these,  Carson  Valley  is  the  most 
populous,  being  the  central  region  whence  supplies  are  distributed

to  the  extensive  gold  and  silver  mining  districts  of  Washoe  and 
Humboldt  on  the  north,  Walker's  River  and  Lake  on  the  east, 
and  Esmeralda  and  Mono  on  the  south.  Of  the  mineral  re- 
sources of  Nevada,  language  cannot  exaggerate  the  importance. 
The  Comstock  Lead,  at  Virginia  City,  is  perhaps  the  richest  vein 
of  silver  now  being  worked  on  the  globe.  The  existence  of 
numerous  other  silver  lodes,  only  less  remarkable,  and  a  net  work 
of  gold-bearing  quartz  veins  ramifying  through  all  the  region 
thus  far  prospected,  together  Avith  new  and  valuable  discoveries 
constantly  being  made,  prove  that  Nevada  is  destined  to  fill  an 
important  place  in  the  future  liistory  of  tlie  Pacific  Coast.  In 
order  to  participate  in  its  grand  destiny,  an  eneigetic  population 
is  thronging  to  its  borders  and  filling  up  its  valleys,  and  unlim- 
ited capital  is  seeking  investment  in  the  developement  of  its  vast 
mineral  resources.
